    I only agreed to go here after checking if they had pho shrimp on their menu, and indeed they had it on there. Arrived after a late badminton session. It was a weekday and already late, so I was fine with just going home. However, I took the extra miles to drive over here only to be told they no longer serve shrimp and said I was looking at an old menu. Since I wasn't just looking at an old photo of the menu someone posted, I showed them their active menu on yelp and suggested they should update their menu. I then asked if they had anything without meat and his answer was white rice. You gotta be kidding me? Lol. My friend had to dig the menu a bit more to realize they serve pho noodles only as an option. When it comes to pho, I am not too picky if its cooked in bone broth, so I went ahead and ordered that because a bowl of plain rice at 11pm didn't seem appetizing and was wasted calories. 2 stars for the mediocre service and pho. I will never be convinced to come here again.

    Been a while since my last visit many years ago. The place gets packed to a full house during lunch rush on weekends. Dined outside as I had no choice. Environment setting would be little casual hood food dining. Service is good -everyone has a role with whether it be taking orders, bringing out drinks, ensuring all essentials are provided. The look on the staffs faces assure that they actually care to be there. They only have bottled water for a 1.00 which I opted to get Iced Tea instead. Ordered Number 2 (Combo Pho) Small size Pros -They pile on a lot of meat! Mostly flank , 2 bits of tai, and 3 quarter sized meatballs. Ended up discarding some brisket as I was that full. Taste - The pho broth was good and reminds me of home style pho with a little bit extra effort. Herbs/Extras - Plenty of fresh produce to add. Beansprouts are steamed cooked by default. They provide fat stack of napkins which is a plus because that's a "W" in my book. Price is pretty fair and justified. This could make top 10 -15 as there's so many pho joints in OC that are just as consistent.

    The Portion is big compare to other places, and a lot of meat in the bowl. We got served by a lady waitress, she Was very friendly and humorous The Broth always smell great. Ambience is okay, which I did not really care, but the Pho

    Pho Good is true to its name! We got the small and large size combination phos and it was super affordable. The phos came with a lot of meat and the broth was very homemade tasting! Super yummy and will definitely come back. Service is quick and the place is clean. It's open late too which is a big plus.

    Pho Good has easily climbed the ranks for me in terms of pho. The soup has lots of depth and flavor, they give you tons of protein, and they open late. What's not to love? Pho good has seen me at my worst and best. I've come here with friends, family, and even solo. I order the Pho Nam Gau, it's my personal favorite. I like the amount of meat to fat. Order Hanh Dam (Pickled Onions) and Mo Hanh (Onion in Oil) and put sriracha on the Hanh Dam. I eat both of those with my meat. It adds a nice kick and freshness to each bite. Service is always good and the food comes out fast. The restaurant has plenty of seating. I don't think I've ever had to wait. I highly recommend trying Pho Good.

    Came in super late after karaoke one night and this pho really hit the spot. Broth was super flavorful and was served pipping hot which is my favorite. Even though it was late they had a lot of employees and the place was pretty full. They did not bring my extra onion or lime as requested twice so I took off a star for that. Overall a great late night option

    Was pho good even good?!? Yes it was! I know the name actually turn me off but my niece said to go here and ok, I'll try it. Entered at 11:30am on a Tuesday and there were a few table already taken. We sat down and were given menus right away. Of course we had to order pho and it did not disappoint at all. Love the large noodle option. Broth was amazing and rich. I asked for a small plate of pickled onions. All came out quite fast. Instead of tap water, they sell bottled water for $1 per bottle. Not bad at all. Service was quick and we got to enjoy our pho on a chilly day. I will definitely come back.

    Noodles are delicious and prices are very affordable! Comes with a huge plate of bean sprouts, lemon, basil, jalapeño. Thai tea was very rich and aromatic. Service was good and food came quick.

    The pho broth here is warm, rich and savory! Try this hidden gem before people find it and prices go up. This is only half the large size bowl that is about $15 and it's plentiful in tender beef cuts. The flavor is authentic and they give you plenty of herbs and sprouts. My new favorite pho spot in Garden Grove, especially for the value!

    $1 for small cup of water  , over charged customers !
    Vivian C.

    Pho Good can confirm it is wasn't good like the name ! Food: I ordered HOUSE SPECIAL PHO $15.50 the big bowl with a lot of meat . and THE COMBO PHO $13.75 was the same , It's big portions. But after eating this phở I'm really thirsty and headache because of MSG too much. I can't stand restaurants that won't supply regular drinking tap water and they want to force you to buy bottle water. I told them I just want 2 cups of water they charged me a tiny glasses of water for $1 that's never happened in another phở restaurant around . Another places they're free water, tea , some places give free dessert. Service: Extremely slow. Would not recommend if you are on a schedule. I have to wait so long to get my food. The restaurant was clean and a lot of parking spaces in the area. !

    Oxtail pho.
    Ohana C.

    I came here a few days ago, and it was my first time. The aroma of the soup lingered outside in the parking lot area. I had to try it out. On the menu I saw there was (ox Tail) pho, so I decided to order it. I will be very honest the portions are big for the price. But I've tried ox tail that was better. The service was great. Food was amazing. Wasn't too busy when I went. Service was fast. Interior was clean. Only thing is though is that in the Resturant there isn't any air. So it's warm inside while you are dining in. Great place to come to late night if you're craving pho.

    My nail technician wouldn't stop talking about this place and she swore it was her local go to pho spot, so I figured I had to see what the hype was about. I went in during brunch time and it was steady traffic and they had a consistent flow of people coming in. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a really friendly lady. She was smiley and welcoming, which already set a good tone. Menus were handed out right away, no waiting around. I ordered the small house special pho and the portion size surprised me. It was a lot for a small. I also added ox tendon on the side and that came out huge too. Everything was generous. The meat portions, noodles, and especially the side veggies. You're not left feeling like they're shorting you on anything here.The meat was tender, easy to eat, and the broth was decent. It's one of those spots that just makes sense as a local go to. Overall, I can see why people in the area keep on coming back. It's a solid mom and pop pho spot that does exactly what it needs to do. Warm, comforting, and hits the spot!

They…read morecaught my eye a while ago and I saw they had the infamous Waterfall Chicken for only $10.99, a steal of a deal especially with tomato price & an egg. The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

I'm a bit late getting around to writing this, and unfortunately, they are already closed, but I still felt like I had to share my experience. I'm not completely surprised that they closed, especially after trying their bò né. I've had this dish many times at different places around Orange County, and unfortunately, this was probably the weakest version I've come across. The first thing that stood out was the presentation. As you can see in the picture, there was this purple-colored sauce on the meat itself, which honestly did not look very appetizing. To make things worse, the sauce was cold and did not heat in time with the skillet, which really took away from the experience. The flavor itself wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything memorable. It was just okay, and when you factor in the cold food and the presentation, it made the whole dish disappointing. With so many places around Orange County serving bò né at a much higher level, I would probably recommend spending your money elsewhere. If you were wondering whether you missed out on some hidden gem, don't worry, you didn't. This one felt more like a piece of coal than a diamond. That being said, every restaurant has its journey, and with more time, maybe they could have found their footing. Hopefully, they can take this experience as a lesson, refine their recipes, and bring something better in their next venture. I am rooting for you Loi!

After our food arrived, there was no check in, no water refills, and you have to go up to the counter to pay. At least its very convenient, streamlined, and efficient! I found the food to have a great depth of flavor, something a lot of pho places lack. I especially liked the wider noodles which offered a nice chew and texture change. Everything was cooked perfectly, and there were plenty of sauces to mix and match if you wanted to spice things up. Definitely worth a visit!

Be prepared: this place is incredibly popular, especially during peak hours. Parking can definitely be challenging because of how busy it is. The last time I visited on a Monday, the lot was completely full, and I ended up parking on the street. The restaurant is also primarily cash only, so come prepared. They open early, making it a perfect breakfast spot for an early bowl of pho. The pho broth is exactly what I want when I'm craving comfort food--clean, flavorful, and incredibly soothing. However, the star of the meal for me was the chả giò. Wow. Although they arrived after our pho, they came out at the perfect temperature. I was hesitant to take a bite right away because freshly fried food usually burns my mouth, but these were just right. Crispy, airy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Paired with their fish sauce, it was perfection. I enjoyed the egg rolls so much that next time I'm definitely ordering the egg roll vermicelli bowl. Service was friendly and prompt despite how busy it was, and it's clear the staff works hard to keep things moving. One thing I love is seeing all of the awards and accolades displayed on the walls. Phở 79 received the prestigious James Beard America's Classics Award, and it's easy to understand why after one meal here. This restaurant is truly an Orange County icon. The restaurant will soon be moving to a new location, as signs throughout the restaurant announce the upcoming move. While I'll miss the original spot, I'm excited for the new space--hopefully with more parking! Some places are worth the wait, and Phở 79 is absolutely one of them.
